Yeah, i thought the whole gay theme would have made them go mad. Slash gets on my nervs a lil bit, but whatever tickles your fancy i say!
Yeah, I mean, it's not like Harry Potter has had a gay thought, yet what the fandom has written about him... (Though Sirius and Remus are practically canon...)
Whereas this game? Has canon gay pairings, plenty of innuendo, and gay/bisexual guys. Not to mention it's set in a boarding school which mostly consists of boys. Writing slash about it = shooting fish in a barrel.
I suspect it's more about the audience than the game. If it were a book or a comic, I think there would be more fanfiction. I'm guessing women who are gamers (or who are active in gaming fandoms) are still a minority, and given that the majority of the people writing slash are heterosexual women... it doesn't happen that much.
Like I said, I saw one gen fic which *might* have become slashy (Gary/Petey) on a yaoi board. Amongst some fanart and furry stuff... which- hey, I'm openminded, they're not hurting anyone, I guess- but I don't get it. And cartoon porn kind of disturbs me.
